Home Lacter Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) HL_Maids — Maid Career [18+] View File HL_Maids adds a complete, story-driven Maid career to The Sims 4. Take the job, travel to a client's home and clean it while the owners go about their lives around you, then decide how far you'll go to climb the ranks. Built for WickedWhims, but works without it. Flirting is optional: you can also get promoted just by working your shifts. Current version: 0.2.5. How it works Take the job. Join the Maid career (young adults, adults and elders) and head to a client's home in uniform each shift. Once you arrive the house gets dirty, and you clean it one object at a time: toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, counters, stoves, microwaves and coffee makers. On-screen goals and the shift's performance meter track your progress. You only get goals for objects the house actually has, and the residents won't clean your assigned objects for you. The workload grows with your level, starting at one of each chore and reaching the full workload at the top ranks. A house that's alive. The homeowners live their lives while you work. They eat, watch TV, chat and may flirt with you on their own, all without leaving the lot. An owner with a job of their own stays home while your shift lasts. Owners are always adult humans: no pets, horses or kids. Owner requests. Every now and then an owner asks you for a favor. It can be a coffee, taking out the trash, mopping up a puddle they spilled or, from level 4 with high friendship and romance, a massage. Do it and you get a tip, some friendship and points for the shift. If you turn it down or let it lapse, there's no penalty. Climb the ranks. There are ten levels, from Maid in Training to Service Matron (Valet in Training to Majordomo for male Sims). Each one has its own narrative and pay, from §15 an hour at the start to §135 at the top. You can complete every promotion task in one of two ways: Romance with your clients. This is the fast way. Shifts at clients' homes. Work a set number of them: 2 at the start, up to 5 at the top. Only shifts where you go along with your maid count. Shifts you send her to alone don't. You still need good performance, and you go up one level at a time. Once you reach Trusted Maid (level 4), the agency trains you: on your next shift your maid gets the Speed Cleaner trait. Work the homeowner. Serving a home marks its owner as your client. Look for "Household client" in their relationship panel. Only romance with your clients counts toward the romance path. Raise it through the normal Romance menu, WickedWhims or anything you like. Romance you already have with a client counts too, so a task can show as done right away. While you work, clients get a flirty "Eyes on the maid" moodlet. A new client also starts with a small spark, so your first flirt isn't a sure rejection. Propositions. From level 3, clients make you propositions during your shift: real simoleons for something that isn't in the contract. The offer grows with your rank. By default it also rises with your romance with that client and with the home's wealth. You can switch the pay mode to Strangers pay more (new clients pay extra) or Fixed (only your level counts). Accept: the money goes to your household, you get the "Well paid" moodlet and your romance with that client goes up. With WickedWhims installed (and its scenes left on in Settings), a scene with them starts right there in the house. Refuse: you get the "You set the price" moodlet. There's no penalty. Propositions and requests never stack. Only one event happens at a time, with a break in between. Choose your style. There are three work tones: Clean thoroughly: raises your performance. Flirt with the owner: a flirty mood, but your performance goes down. Play hard to get: your pace, your rules. Your mood on the job also changes with your rank, from tense to flirty to in charge. Answer the boss. Four chats with your boss show up on their own every few days. Accept one and you get a bonus of §300 to §1,000 plus a moodlet. Clean-only mode. If you'd rather just clean, turn it on. You get no propositions, no flirty moodlets and no boss chats, and the massage request goes too (the Flirt work tone is still there if you pick it yourself). You can switch it on or off whenever you like, even mid-shift. It removes the flirting, not the theme: the career's texts stay as written. Pick the house. Client homes rotate at random, skipping the last five you visited whenever there are other homes to choose from, or you can fix one home. Switch "Homes shown" to "All homes" to also work for another of your own played families. The family you're playing right now can't be picked. If the chosen family moves, your maid follows them to their new home. Make it yours. Click your maid and choose Maid > "Maids — Settings…". The first page has the client home and Clean-only mode, plus two sections: "Shift work…": how much there is to clean (Light, Normal, or Heavy, where the house gets dirty again mid-shift), workload by career level, and owner requests (Normal, Frequent or Off). "Roleplay & scenes…": proposition frequency (Rare, Normal, Frequent or Never), proposition pay and the WickedWhims scenes. Most of what's new (Clean-only mode, workload by level, owner requests, propositions and scenes) can be turned off there, no need to uninstall. Features 10-level active career with a maid uniform, custom icons and its own narrative at every rank, plus male titles for male Sims Real cleaning gameplay: goals for each object across 8 kinds of objects, only for what the house has, with a workload that grows with your level Homeowners who live in their house during your shift Owner requests (coffee, trash, puddle, and a massage from level 4) that pay a tip Two ways up at every level: romance with your clients, or a set number of shifts worked Propositions from level 3 with real money, priced by your rank, the relationship and the home's wealth. There are 3 pay modes, and frequency goes down to Never Four boss chats that show up on their own, each with a bonus and a moodlet The Speed Cleaner trait as a gift at level 4 3 work tones: Clean thoroughly, Flirt with the owner, Play hard to get Clean-only mode, which you can toggle at any time Work for random clients, a fixed home, or your own played families A settings menu in sections, where most features can be switched off WickedWhims integration (optional): an accepted proposition starts a scene with that homeowner, right in their house English text throughout, with community translations supported. A translation kit and a debug add-on are separate downloads Requirements The Sims 4 + Get to Work (required). The career runs on that pack's active-career system. WickedWhims by TURBODRIVER (optional but recommended, not included). Without it, the career, the requests and the propositions all still work. Accepting a proposition pays you either way; WickedWhims adds the scene. Installation This page has three files: HL_Maids.zip: the mod. HL_Maids_Debug_addon.zip: optional, only for reporting problems. HL_Maids_Translations_Kit.zip: for translators. To install the mod: Extract HL_Maids.zip into a folder named HL_Maids inside your Mods folder (the zip has no folder of its own). You should end up with Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/HL_Maids/ containing HL_Maids.package and HL_Maids.ts4script (plus a README). Keep both files together, at most one folder deep inside Mods. In game, go to Options > Game Options > Other, tick "Enable Custom Content and Mods" and "Script Mods Allowed", then restart. If anything looks stale, delete localthumbcache.package in The Sims 4 folder. Updating: finish your current shift before updating. Your saves and promotion progress are kept, and the new shift-based task starts at 0. A shift saved halfway through may lose its task list after an update. If that happens, just start a new shift. Uninstall: quit the job in game first, then delete the Mods/HL_Maids folder. Translations (community) The mod ships in English. Translations work as drop-in language packs. Download a HL_Maids_Translation_<LANG>.package and put it in your Mods folder itself (the folder above HL_Maids, not inside it), and the game uses that language. Remove it and the mod falls back to English. A community translation shows any text newer than its version (everything added in 0.2.5, for example) in English until it's updated. Want to translate it into your language? HL_Maids_Translations_Kit.zip has one ready-made package per language, with every string in English: Open yours in Sims 4 Studio (Tools > STBL editor) or the Sims 4 Translator. Translate the values only. Don't change the keys or the instance. Save it, keeping the name HL_Maids_Translation_XX.package, and share it. (WickedWhims-style: players just drop in one file, no extra tools needed.) French Translation -- Angelus75 German Translation -- Kai Renner PT-BR Translation -- Claudio Xoio Compatibility & notes Works alongside other careers and gameplay mods. The career, its events, moodlets and pay are the mod's own, and it doesn't replace any EA text. Known issue: like every active career in the game, switching households or travelling with another Sim mid-shift ends the maid's shift early. Finish the shift first. Your chosen client home and the rotation memory are saved per save game, tied to the household you're playing. English only out of the box. Other languages come from the community packs above. Reporting a problem: install the debug add-on by putting HL_Maids_Debug.ts4script next to the mod in Mods/HL_Maids/. Repeat what happened, then send the file Mods/HL_Maids_data/hl_maids.log with a short description. Without the add-on, the mod writes no log. Credits Home Lacter: design, code, packaging.

Crimsonfoxx14 Posted June 16 Posted June 16 This looks so fascinating! i am going to be trying this for sure. Is the maid uniform cute like in the mod art? hehe. i love her cute outfit and choker Looking forward to seeing how this mod develops too. 2
Cintia Kelly Posted June 16 Posted June 16 aqui o mod sempre esta enviando a sim pra mesma casa e a dona da casa e uma sim 1
Crimsonfoxx14 Posted June 17 Posted June 17 The mod seems to start fine and i did my first day. What i did find was that when i arrived to the lot of the home i need to clean, 2 other NPC people was there. i couldnt tell if they was the owner or not but they walked in with me and started cleaning as well. This did make it tricky to hit my cleaning target and quota. they didnt have maid outfits on. just regular clothes. they stayed at the house talking and interacting for thr whole shift. I didnt see any known owner of the house at all as i did want to flirt as per the mod tasks. How do i find out/know who the home owner is? Was this just random or a issue? I am soon ging to start my second shift so will se how that is Also i not sure if these are homes you have created specifically for this mod, But this first home had a lot of empty rooms ( no furniture) apart from the key rooms like bathroom kitchen and lounge and one bedroom. But i am loving this career mod so far a lot! feels like a nice job to have. I hope you keep developing it ! 2
Crimsonfoxx14 Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Also, excuse my random thoughts and out-there suggestions as i not even sure if you intend to take the mod much further but.. Some ideas i have are : 1) I have noticed my 2nd shift was to the same exact home and same people outside ( which i am suspecting are the home owners). Could the player ( me) be allowed to decorate/edit the home? if so where is the home located? i would love to add more decor to it, if this is the only home i will clean. Also if this is the only home the maid visits, could it be much larger, like a mansion owned by a wealthy family? then you could increase the cleaning needs as you rank up. You could also add events like parties at the /mansion/ house and garden grounds, which could also be seasonal parties. Like dinner parties/ swinger parties etc. And seasonal like halloween, Christmas, Valentines day. Then as a maid i serve the guests, cook food, entertain and obviously clean. ( for whicked whims this could be pole dancing, sexual pleasuring, orgies). There could even be 1 or 2 other servants/maids we work with and interact with at the mansion. 2) Could we even have a handful of homes the maid visits? just to spice it up and create variety. Maybe one of them is a Master or Mistress into bdsm or kinkier stuff lol. 3) Could we get variations in the maid outfit, either for events and seasonal times of year, or for sexual/kinky career events. maybe naked apart from heels and apron hehe. Anyways, just felt like thowing some stuff out there if you was looking for ideas. 1
cumplosion Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Can you pick your house? I'd want one Sim household to work for another, and play semi-autonomous 2
XBJ Posted June 19 Posted June 19 (edited) TQ and interesting gameplay mod. Would like to feedback 1. Maid outfit will change to daily outfit if player went for a washroom break. 2. I have been visiting the same home for 3 promotions. Even though the notification says new home, it is still the same home. 3. I have not played until max career, but can we change outfit? 4. I am stuck at promotion requirement "keep romance at 30 or more". --- I have been assigned a 8 people house, reach 50% of all tenants. But still cannot trigger promotion Spoiler Spoiler for those havent played: Spoiler You start with part time your maid career, and when you become a official "Maid" you will be working 5 days a week. Edited June 19 by XBJ promotion bug 1
Crate123 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I have only done 2 shifts but there has been no one home both times (same house). 2

Definitivamente lo voy a probar. ¿El uniforme de sirvienta es tan lindo como en el arte del mod? Jeje. Me encanta su lindo atuendo y gargantilla. También tengo muchas ganas de ver cómo se desarrolla este mod. The uniform is currently for illustrative purposes; I will soon add outfits according to the career ranks and the mod's theme.
Home Lacter Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 On 17/6/2026 at 4:14, Crimsonfoxx14 said: El mod parece funcionar bien y mi primer día transcurrió sin problemas. Lo que descubrí fue que, al llegar al solar de la casa que debía limpiar, había otros dos personajes no jugables (NPC) allí. No pude distinguir si eran los dueños o no, pero entraron conmigo y también empezaron a limpiar. Esto dificultó alcanzar mi objetivo y cuota de limpieza. No llevaban uniformes de sirvienta, solo ropa normal. Se quedaron en la casa charlando e interactuando durante todo el turno. No vi a ningún propietario conocido de la casa, ya que quería coquetear según las tareas del mod. ¿Cómo puedo averiguar quién es el propietario de la vivienda? ¿Fue esto algo aleatorio o un problema? Pronto empezaré mi segundo turno, así que veremos qué tal. Además, no estoy seguro de si estas son casas que has creado específicamente para este mod, pero esta primera casa tenía muchas habitaciones vacías (sin muebles) aparte de las habitaciones clave como el baño, la cocina, el salón y un dormitorio. ¡Pero me está encantando este mod de carrera hasta ahora! Parece un trabajo estupendo. ¡Espero que sigas desarrollándolo! This is a design flaw; owners should have an identifier to visually identify them. This will be added in the next version. Residents also clean; this will be configurable from a settings menu. Houses are selected from those owned by the user and each owned by a Sim, otherwise the system might choose an empty lot. This will also be configurable from the settings menu, allowing you to work with a single client or multiple clients simultaneously. 1
Home Lacter Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 On 17/6/2026 at 5:14, Crimsonfoxx14 said: Además, disculpen mis pensamientos aleatorios y sugerencias descabelladas, ya que ni siquiera estoy seguro de si tienen la intención de llevar el mod mucho más lejos, pero... Algunas ideas que tengo son: 1) Me he dado cuenta de que en mi segundo turno me atendieron en la misma casa y con las mismas personas afuera (sospecho que son los dueños). ¿Podría el jugador (yo) decorar/editar la casa? Si es así, ¿dónde se encuentra? Me encantaría añadirle más decoración, si es la única casa que limpiaré. Además, si esta es la única casa que visita la criada, ¿podría ser mucho más grande, como una mansión propiedad de una familia adinerada? Entonces podrías aumentar las necesidades de limpieza a medida que subes de rango. También podrías agregar eventos como fiestas en la casa y los jardines de la mansión, que podrían ser fiestas de temporada. Como cenas, fiestas de intercambio de parejas, etc. Y de temporada como Halloween, Navidad, San Valentín. Entonces, como criada, sirvo a los invitados, cocino, entretengo y, obviamente, limpio. (Para caprichos perversos, esto podría incluir baile en barra, placer sexual, orgías). Incluso podría haber uno o dos sirvientes/empleadas domésticas más con los que trabajemos e interactuemos en la mansión. 2) ¿Podríamos incluso tener un puñado de casas que la empleada doméstica visite? Solo para darle un toque diferente y crear variedad. Tal vez uno de ellos sea un Amo o Ama aficionado al BDSM o cosas más pervertidas jajaja. 3) ¿Podríamos tener variaciones en el atuendo de sirvienta, ya sea para eventos y épocas estacionales del año, o para eventos laborales sexuales/pervertidos? Tal vez desnuda aparte de tacones y delantal, jeje. En fin, solo quería compartir algunas ideas por si estabas buscando algo. I'll try to answer everything: The possibility of decorating clients' houses is being evaluated, because it seems like something that requires a data injection into the game rather than simply cloning a job. I know there's a decorator job, so it's very possible. We're also considering the possibility of receiving special requests from friends of the homeowner, etc., to decorate a house for a holiday or work certain shifts during a festival, etc. The possibility of having companions is under evaluation, but it should be possible without problems in the future. I plan for the outfits to scale with the profession and also complement the mod's role. As a final note, I review every suggestion and evaluate every possibility. Feedback is always welcome since I make the mod for the people who play it, so thank you for the suggestions and detailed reports; they greatly help the mod's evolution. 1

MalibuBattleBarbie Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I like the artwork you've put up for the career, and the dedicated menu for Maid on the UI wheel for interactions. It's a brilliant mod idea and I can't wait to see where you take it. My sim was sent to Dock Den, in Windham, wherein there were two sims on the property - already having relations upon a bathroom countertop. As soon as they..... uhhh... finished their business, I had my sim flirt around with both to figure out who the owner was. I didn't mind so much not knowing who's in charge right at first... that's kind of like life. My second and third shifts were at the same home, but they were empty. I checked on the world manager and saw that the house was vacant, so I moved a suitable sim from the gallery into a rich household, and moved him into Dock's Den with some of that household's money. I'm able to complete the workday, as others have stated, I too am stuck at promotion requirement "keep romance at 30 or more" - I think I am confused. 30 or more what? If it's percentage, the romance is at about 80%. Is there a time window or countdown? It's still a fun mod that really brings in more variety for the Get To Work active careers, and I hope you hang in there with it.
Crate123 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) 6 hours ago, Home Lacter said: It might be a bug. Could you explain the context better so I can help you? I keep being sent to Zenview apartments, specificially the home of the Karaoke Legends (Akira Kibo, Miko Ojo and Darling Walsh). They are usually not home but if Im lucky they come home when there is like 1-2 hours left of my shift. I have tried 2 different characters, one who lived in San Myshuno and one who lived in Willow Creek but I still get sent to the same apartment. I have never been able to get a 100% completion of my work day, even if I clean every thing and flirt 3 times. I have the base game, get famous, city living and get to work expansions.

Nikowolfi Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Können Sie diesen Mod auch für männliche Sims machen? Zum Beispiel als Butler
Nikowolfi Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Man müsste französisch kennen. Sie übersetzen ja fast alles - man könnte neidisch werden, da in deutsch kaum einer etwas übersetzt. 1
jozevaz Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Hello, I'm having a problem with your mod. When I select this job for my Sims, the job disappears after a while. I also can't travel to work. Could there be a conflict with other mods? I do have the "Get to Work" expansion pack. Thanks in advance for your help.
pyrosushi Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Travelled with my sim to work and she was in the middle of the road. No house allowed visits. Each one said add household to library instead.
Angelus75 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Hi @Home Lacter So, I've found two annoying bugs! The first one: the Maid's career gets reset if you switch households or if you leave the house to go somewhere else with the second Sim. The second one: sometimes the maid gets sent to a community location and can't do her job. My housekeeper got sent to a bar, lol. Other than that, the mod works fine ^^ Edited July 1 by Angelus75 3
